Question

complete the steps to find the value of x.
8
72+(7x + 24)=180
7x+96=180
7x=84
x=

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

$$72+(7x + 24)=180$$
$$7x+72 + 24=180$$
$$7x+96 = 180$$

Step2: Subtract 96 from both sides

$$7x+96-96=180 - 96$$
$$7x=84$$

Step3: Divide both sides by 7

$$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{84}{7}$$
$$x = 12$$

Answer:

\(x = 12\)
